Why would you want to do this? Just curious as to why it is even necessary.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DominicGresham:
What you will have to do is download the adb and fastboot drivers for your pc and be sure to fully back up your sd or you will loose all your photos here is a way to so so

Download this : ADB & Fastboot Drivers

Ok from here install that then do this and also ps your sd card will be formatted thats why i said you will loose your data and back it up

Open cmd.exe then do this and be sure that you have your phone in debugging mode

1.

adb shell

2.

sm set-force-adoptable true

3.

sm partition disk:179,64 private

4

sm set-force-adoptable false

5

sm list-volumes all

Done now move anything :D adoptable storage now available

Any Version of windows should work from xp and above if i am correct

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] mutantchipmunk:
Saw that we could do this in other threads but they weren't simplified like this one so thanks. I did this on my VM stylo, i was freaking out when it hanged on the VM logo during the reboot but i let it sit and it started up just fine. I really dont see how much different this is compared to traditional external sd. In Storage and usb you have Internal and SD Card. When installing apps they do not automatically install to the sd. You move files to the sd card the same way with this fix so i fail to see how this is a benefit. I did the migrate data feature but it didnt really migrate anything as my 3rd party apps are still on the internal, and yet in the app's settings i can transfer them to sd. Only upside is that i got an error before i did this when i tried to move apps to the sd it said "could not move storage is full" when i had a 64gb sd card installed. That error is gone now i can move more apps and the cost of having my sd card encrypted to the phone.

Got this error while putting in the codes, i ignored it and put in the next line of code and sure enough the process worked.

OK so I've installed adb correctly, when I open up cmd and type adb devices, my device is being recognized. She I enter the above ad shell commands they all seem to go through fine but when I try to move apps to SD card there s no option to move them. Am I doing something wrong? (I'm using windows 10 BTW)

Edit: so I was curios and pressed the format SD card button,which gives me the option to format as portable storage so I assume I've done it correctly. My question is, what is the point of this if I can move ALL apps to SD card?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] fubugang:

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] SaltyDog:
These commands are for which directory?

Is it possible to partition the SD card, and re-format only one partition this way?

Thanks

Which PC drivers should I use? Haven't upgraded yet to mm, but if I do, I'd like to be sure of this. I'm on the 3.14 version in Windows 10. I'm somewhat familiar with using adb so this is great, having this workaround. Thanks. :)
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] neolithe:
I was having the same issue. Here is what I did w/ win7, also installed the android sdk while I was troubleshooting.

Connect phone via usb w/ debug mode enabled.

Then access device manager by going to start>right click my computer, properties, devier manager.

Then you should see a 1 or 2 devices with yellow triangles with ! in the center.

I don't remember the exact name for what we're looking for. I had 2 devices show up, one of them might be for a device I haven't setup after a recent format named universal serial bus controller.

Right click whichever you think is the one, update driver, browse my computer for driver software, let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer, double click show all devices, under manufacturer locate google inc, finally select android adb interface. If everything works, should see Android device as a sublisting of your computer. You'll find Android ADB interface inside it when expanded.

After that, the adb shell command took first time. Hope this helps get you in the right direction if not solve the problem.

This did get my stylo setup with sd as pseudo internal mem. Thanks.

Boost stylo root confirmed.

I know..off topic. But the thread i was posting in."untouched 6.0 for boost stylo" is dead and wanted every one to know...root confirmed. I have screen shot of root checker.just trying to figure out how to post it. Basically keep running kingroot. If it reboots it didnt work. It will say it failed only. When you get the root failed msg, close app and then reopen. It will ask for permission to fix a few things..grant it. Boom rooted. About to try supersu me when i get off work.

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] jmacie:
I foolishly rebooted, now I can't duplicate the temp root. But I do feel the further deployment of MM will bring about a permanent root. They have that unlocked bootloader on t-mobile and I bet that's why they don't have MM yet.

Thanks-

I think Windows obstructed the install. Now device is recognized.

Got errors thru commands, timeouts...

Also, while phone screen was dark, usb debug options popped up on screen-

saw that as I was going to try another card, but selected to usb debug.

Went thru commands again, same errors.

Disconnected phone, and

NOW, APPS MOVE TO SD CARD!.

Still shows as SD card, tho, but have option to re-format to portable storage,

so it worked!
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] cHello2k9:
Is there any way to move files onto the SD card after you've done this? As of right now I am completely lost I can't restore my backup nor move my music back to the card. Yeah i could upload my music to google music and download it through google music, but for some reason not all my music is transferred
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] swwhite:
Worked perfect for me. I was expecting it to tell me what was happening through the process. After I did the last step though, I noticed I was able to move things to external storage that normally wouldn't move. Also, when I download movable appz from the Play Store, it automatically move things to external storage for me. Matter of fact, I'm pretty sure they are installing to external, which is beautiful. Nice work!
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] ImUnderTheBed:
How'd you get past this?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] cHello2k9:
You have to format your sdcard, a notification should appear in one of the steps, or just do it in advance, but it doesn't really work the way I thought it did. You can switch the storage of most apps, and some will say they've been moved... but apps intended to remain on your phone will stay on your phone, despite the confirmation.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] ImUnderTheBed:
Yeah, I see that now. The adoptable setting isn't much more useful than just inserting an SD card.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] ElJarno:
Issues during partition

I also have some issues but with LG G4. But I think it should be the same process. During partition the storage will be removed as it prompts on the screen. After a while shell is showing me that binder gave up waiting. The sd card has to be removed or the device has to be rebooted. After that the sc card could not be read before formating. After formating it's still normal external storage. Any idea?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] roboburrito:
Can't access external sd

after doing the process now I can move apps that normally wouldn't to the external sd, but when I try to transfer my backup from my computer it will only show internal storage. I have windows 10, the phone does recognize the ext. card, and when I put it into a card reader it will ask me to format it in order to have access.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] jmacie:
When you use adoptable storage your format changes the card to internal storage and encrypts it. The card can no longer be read externally with a card reader. This is the reason LG decided to disable this Marshmallow feature. LG did not want to be subjected to myriads of customers that may have made a choice to use adoptable storage only to find that it becomes, in essence, a permanent part of the phone. If you use a cheap card and fill it with data without a cloud backup and your card craps out, you will be S.O.L. So you have a clear choice. Don't use the adoptabe storage and format your card as portable and live with the limitations of how many programs you can put on your phone because there is a data storage limit (no matter how big an sd card you have, the phone still has to save space for system upgrades an placemarkers for apps moved to sd) or use adoptable storage and set your phone to backup to one drive or dropbox. Adoptable storage is a better choice
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Yeroc Seyek:
Thanks

Thanks for this. Even though it limits the usability of the SD Card, it definitely remedies the problem with the G Stylo's internal storage.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] jmacie:

So Can I not get any help on this, for whatever reason when I run the install program for the adbsetup.exe it tells me that the files copied is 0

And adb shell still doesn't work. Can someone please point me in another direction. This phone is garbage without the adaptable storage option
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] jmacie:
I just dwnld the adbsetup.exe to check it,and it worked fine for me. Did you put a (Y) after each script option? Do you have your phone in developer mode w/usb option checked?

If you want to take the easy way out, get build.prop editor from playstore and kingroot from kingroot.net, the on-phone android app, NOT the pc app. The kingroot will give you temp root and you can go into build.prop and change adoptable storage to true. The 03-29-2016 kingroot app did not re-boot and that's very important. You don't want it to reboot, it might possibly brick you. Also after you change the build.prop you might want to open up kingroot again and go to the three dot settings top right and uninstall kingroot. Kingroot is only functional for up to Lollipop so it's bricked me ( and many many others) a couple times , but if you just use it to change build.prop then uninstall it you'll be O.K.

If for some reason you brick, you can ONLY fix this phone by sending it to LG.

Also, if you still want to do it manually go to this thread and get the phone drivers from step 2 and the adb folder from step 7: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g-stylo/how-to/official-boost-lg-g-stylo-unbrick-guide-t3215198
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] tube517:
Be careful if you really want adoptable storage. Your sd card becomes a permanent part of the internal storage. It does not work in any other device except your phone. You cannot copy over any files from your computer. Your sd card is useless after using on your phone. You cannot re-use it.

As far as your problems, make sure all your drivers are up to date on your computer. Also, you need to click the verification popup on your phone for anything in this process to work.

The article OP messed up the syntax by using a colon between the drive #'s instead of a comma , also note the s7 drive #'s are different than stylo's. I use it on my VM stylo and it works fine half adoptable, half portable storage

I'm using adb-setup-1. 4.3.exe and I ran into a problem.

So I put the phone on debug mode. The phone is plugged into the computer via USB cable. I ran adb-setup-1. 4.3.exe. I put 'y' for everything. Next, I run CMD. First line went okay I think, something about copied or installed 4 files. The problem comes from the 2nd line.

When you connected your phone and you had debugging connected, the very 1st time it asks you if you want to allow the connection and gives you a box,on the phone, to check to remember your choice. It sort of seems like the connection isn't made, so go in your device manager in windows and see if your 1st device is an "Android device", if so connect and disconnect ( unplug and plug in your phone cable) until debugging asks for permission to connect then go to you c:/ drive and hover over the adb file folder and hold shift key then right click and choose open command prompt here. I know it took me a few times before the phone was recognized because you HAVE to click yes to allow usb debugging after the connection of phone to pc. Either that or your Android driver isn't in right and you'll just have to keep trying
